French Onion Soup

Right now, I’m making mushroom and wild rice soup. Up next, it’ll be cheesy chicken and rice. A few weeks ago, it was loaded baked potato.

I’ve made a lot of bad soup. There was the apple and squash debacle that was more like baby food, a separated cheese-based soup that curdled when I attempted to make it “low-cal” and add skim milk and low-fat cheese (I was young, naïve…and in a bad, bad place), and finally, last fall’s attempt at French onion that I accidentally sprinkled powdered mustard into. It was awful.
